0:00:02 > 0:00:03This is Show Me What You're Made Of UK.
0:00:03 > 0:00:07I'm taking five teens the length and breadth of the country...
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Oh, my...
0:00:09 > 0:00:12..and putting them on production lines on factories and farms...
0:00:15 > 0:00:17..so they can experience first-hand...
0:00:19 > 0:00:21..what it takes to survive and thrive
0:00:21 > 0:00:24in some of Britain's toughest industries.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27They all come at once!
0:00:29 > 0:00:30It's physically impossible.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31I am soaked.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34This is Show Me What You're Made Of.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Buck-buck-buck!
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Buck, buck!
0:00:37 > 0:00:38BUCK!
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Our five putting themselves on the line are...
0:00:43 > 0:00:45rules the roost Eloushka...
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Everyone's world kind of revolves around me
0:00:48 > 0:00:50and if I'm not happy with something,
0:00:50 > 0:00:51it probably won't happen.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54..lots of laughs Tom...
0:00:54 > 0:00:55I like really trying to be funny.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56It's got me into trouble.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Sometimes I say stuff that shouldn't be said.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02.."me, me, me" Madz...
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Everyone in my family has called me spoiled.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07I like being spoiled.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08I know that's a bit bad to say.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10..screen queen Maddie...
0:01:10 > 0:01:13If I keep begging for the thing that I really, really want,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15I will get it in the end.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16..and living the dream Lucas.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19I like to be the centre of attention because, like,
0:01:19 > 0:01:20everyone's looking at me,
0:01:20 > 0:01:21and who wouldn't want to look at me?
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Like, come on!
0:01:30 > 0:01:35Our pampered five - Lucas, Madz, Eloushka, Maddie and Tom -
0:01:35 > 0:01:39are about to get their very first taste of the working world.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41I'm taking them to one of the country's
0:01:41 > 0:01:44biggest recycling factories, in Bristol.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47In the UK, we produce
0:01:47 > 0:01:51around 200 million tonnes of waste every year.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53That's three tonnes per person,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56the same weight as an Asian elephant.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58But recycling isn't all just rubbish.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00It's also serious business.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04It's estimated to be worth around £6 billion a year.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07The question is have our five got the stomach
0:02:07 > 0:02:10to cope with a job in waste?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Oh, no!
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Is that poo?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18I've always wanted to be a binman.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Well, what we chuck in our bins could end up here at Suez,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28in one of their material recycling facilities, or Mrfs.
0:02:28 > 0:02:3331 employees sift through 200 tonnes of rubbish every day,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35and over the next two days,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37our five will be joining the workforce here
0:02:37 > 0:02:40to see if they're good enough to be offered a job.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43I like to be the figure of authority,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45not under a figure of authority.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48So you'd like to be the boss, ideally?
0:02:48 > 0:02:49I'd like to be.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Well, I will, cos I'm amazing at everything.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- You're too young.- You're saying that Lucas is too young.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56There's only a year between you.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Yeah!
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I think his actual age is only a year behind us
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- but, like, his maturity is quite a few years behind us.- Ooh!
0:03:03 > 0:03:05'Oh, fierce rivalry already!'
0:03:05 > 0:03:07I'm going to be boss,
0:03:07 > 0:03:08and then I'm going to fire you.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Yeah, that's how I roll.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15'Their actual boss for the next two days...'
0:03:15 > 0:03:16This way, gang.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20'..is Suez Operations Manager Steve.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23'He's the man they have to impress.'
0:03:23 > 0:03:24- Hello.- Good morning.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Tell me how you operate as a business.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29We recycle material
0:03:29 > 0:03:33that you throw away in your recycling bins every day.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35You can find all sorts of things.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Food waste can be in there.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41You could have things like dirty nappies going through the facility.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43So it's important that they are taken out,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45because they don't want to be in our end product.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Who's willing to be on nappy duty, then?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Lucas? - I don't want to touch that!
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- STEVE:- It's hard work.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55People have to work quickly.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57So it's important that you work efficiently,
0:03:57 > 0:03:59because we're judged at the end of the week
0:03:59 > 0:04:01to see how much material we've processed.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- Do you have to wear what you're wearing?- Yes,
0:04:03 > 0:04:04you have to wear the safety gear.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06All right, gang, do you want to follow your boss?
0:04:06 > 0:04:07- Yes.- Nice and quick.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Work, work, work, work, work.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12'Safety is key here,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15'and that means getting kitted out from top to toe
0:04:15 > 0:04:17'before setting foot on the factory floor.'
0:04:17 > 0:04:19You're going to look the part.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24So, how are we feeling about our uniforms?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Very trendy(!)
0:04:26 > 0:04:27I don't like helmets.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- I don't like orange. - You don't like orange?- No.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Ooh!
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- We're here to work... - I'm the new Michael Jackson.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36..not to walk on a catwalk.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38'I think Lucas might have already forgotten
0:04:38 > 0:04:40'he's here to do a serious job...'
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Ooh!
0:04:41 > 0:04:43'..and his attitude is catching.'
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Our young workers are coming face-to-face
0:04:49 > 0:04:51with the mucky world of recycling.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Oh, my...
0:04:55 > 0:04:58I did not think there was going to be that much rubbish.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I can just smell it. I hate the smell.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02It stinks badly, like bin juice.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05I can't smell it!
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Eloushka's all right,
0:05:06 > 0:05:10but the smell is getting to the others, especially Lucas.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Everyone's seen these before, right? Milk cartons.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16That's a valuable material, it's worth quite a lot of money.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Newspaper, card, magazines, all recyclable.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22OK, Lucas, is everything OK?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24It stinks badly.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Do you think you're overreacting slightly?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Eh, yes.- Is the smell unbearable? - For me, it is.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32There's nothing to it.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Guys, what we've got to remember, we've all produced this.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37We are all responsible for this, all of us.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45After the waste has been loaded onto the conveyor,
0:05:45 > 0:05:47it is sorted by hand
0:05:47 > 0:05:49to remove any items which shouldn't be there.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Then machines separate the recyclables
0:05:52 > 0:05:54into different categories
0:05:54 > 0:05:56like paper, plastics and metals.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Finally, it's sorted again by hand
0:05:59 > 0:06:01to remove anything that can't be recycled
0:06:01 > 0:06:02or is in the wrong place.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05It's then squeezed into bales and sold,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08ready to be turned into paper, plastics and metal products again.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13So, in this bucket are examples of stuff that we don't recycle here,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15what we call residue -
0:06:15 > 0:06:17crisp packets, fabric, material.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21That could be recycled, but it's contaminated with mayonnaise,
0:06:21 > 0:06:23so we can't recycle that.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Now to the things we can recycle -
0:06:25 > 0:06:28clear bottles, cans, cardboard, paper.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32So, they are what we call our target materials.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Steve can't yet trust the group on the factory's moving front line,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38so their first task is at the sampling table,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41to test their focus and speed.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Here, the workers sort through sample amounts of waste
0:06:43 > 0:06:46to gauge how much of the material coming into the factory
0:06:46 > 0:06:47is recyclable.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52All right, stand back.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Our five must sift through an 80-kilo tip of material,
0:06:56 > 0:06:59with each of them responsible for collecting a different product.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02They've got an hour and a quarter to get through as much as possible.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04OK, guys, get going!
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Tom's picking cardboard,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Maddie and Madz are on plastics,
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Lucas mixed metals
0:07:12 > 0:07:14and Eloushka paper.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Nice and quick, yeah?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Depending on how each of our five perform,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Steve will decide to promote or demote them.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24No, don't throw it at people.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Look, nice and calm.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Sorry!
0:07:27 > 0:07:30It doesn't take long for Lucas to lose focus.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Lucas pushed everything
0:07:36 > 0:07:38so then it all came down here
0:07:38 > 0:07:41and now we all have to look on the floor for it.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Ew.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48- I'm looking for different types of paper and residue.- Ah! Ah!
0:07:48 > 0:07:49No!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Lucas has just spotted his worst nightmare...
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Is that a nappy?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Yeah, that's a nappy.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00I think you have to pick that up and put it in the residue bucket.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I know there's a bit of poo,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04but just close your eyes and hope for the best.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12On the other side of the table,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Maddie and Madz are having trouble filling their bins.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17What's this? Read it. Read it.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- STEVE:- 'The two Maddies,'
0:08:19 > 0:08:21I think they're getting a bit distracted by Lucas,
0:08:21 > 0:08:24who's probably performing the poorest, if I'm honest.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26He'll pick up a product and he seems more interested in examining it
0:08:26 > 0:08:29and looking at it rather than processing it.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- I think Lucas finds it really tricky...- Yeah.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35..to engage in things that he doesn't find really interesting.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Yeah.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Label-loving Lucas is many things,
0:08:40 > 0:08:42but modest isn't one of them.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45The five things that sum me up about my personality are
0:08:45 > 0:08:47shopaholic,
0:08:47 > 0:08:49smart, funny,
0:08:49 > 0:08:50competitive
0:08:50 > 0:08:52and ridiculously handsome.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Mum Nina says he's no shrinking violet.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00He likes to make people laugh
0:09:00 > 0:09:02and he thinks it's OK
0:09:02 > 0:09:05but sometimes it's not the appropriate time for it.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I like to be the centre of attention because, like,
0:09:07 > 0:09:08everyone's looking at me
0:09:08 > 0:09:11and who wouldn't want to look at me? So... Like, come on.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14His mum knows that, with his love of the limelight,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17knuckling down to work could be tricky.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Mmm!
0:09:18 > 0:09:21If the job in the factory is boring,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24I think that will affect Lucas's behaviour,
0:09:24 > 0:09:29that he will be looking for attention, making jokes,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31trying to escape his job.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36And Lucas's mum is spot on.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Back at the Mrf, he's ground to a halt
0:09:38 > 0:09:41and has his nose stuck in a football mag.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Work!
0:09:44 > 0:09:45- Yeah?- Work!
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- Look!- Lucas...- Look...
0:09:50 > 0:09:53If I was employing you, I wouldn't give you time to read.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56The important thing is you focus on the task and clear it quickly.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Eloushka and Tom are managing to ignore Lucas
0:10:00 > 0:10:02and stay focused on their jobs.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Tom, it looks like you've picked a lot of good cardboard off there.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- Good work.- Yeah, I was wondering...
0:10:07 > 0:10:08So, that's plastic, isn't it?
0:10:08 > 0:10:09Just testing!
0:10:09 > 0:10:12So you seem to have filled your bin up quite quickly,
0:10:12 > 0:10:14and you've picked out some good non-target items.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16You're doing well there.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- Tom, you seem to be working quite quickly.- Yes.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21And listen, you and Eloushka,
0:10:21 > 0:10:24you seem to be the quickest right now.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25It's cos we're Welsh.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- It's cos you're Welsh?- That's why.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29It's because they're both Welsh.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32While Eloushka's sticking to her pledge to be the best,
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Lucas seems to have abandoned his ideas of being boss...
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Oh, with the catch!
0:10:39 > 0:10:42..and Tom is now Eloushka's main competition.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46OK, everybody, step back from the table now.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47The task's finished.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51'Steve's workers would have sifted through
0:10:51 > 0:10:53'four times the amount of waste in the same time.'
0:10:53 > 0:10:54Come on then, gang.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59'After casting an expert eye over the group's work,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01'it's time for Steve to decide
0:11:01 > 0:11:04'who he wants to promote and who will be demoted.'
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Just generally, how did they get on as a group?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Some of you were quite good, quite quick at it
0:11:11 > 0:11:15and then there's the other extreme where people lost focus.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19So, Steve, are any of them going to be promoted?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- I'm going to promote two of them today.- OK.- OK,
0:11:22 > 0:11:24and the two I'm going to promote
0:11:24 > 0:11:26is Eloushka and Tom.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31OK, so, Eloushka and Tom, well done.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32First promotions!
0:11:32 > 0:11:35So, are you feeling quite proud?
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- Yeah.- Yeah, I tried my best,
0:11:37 > 0:11:41put 100% effort in, and it's paid off.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Girls, demoted, how are we feeling about that?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I knew that that wasn't really my forte.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51First factory, first task, first job...
0:11:52 > 0:11:54..a demotion, I'm not really pleased with myself.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Kind of gutted.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Yeah, I am satisfied, proud, happy with myself.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09With Steve questioning the demoted trio's efforts,
0:12:09 > 0:12:11their working day is far from over.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15I'm taking them to volunteer at a charity
0:12:15 > 0:12:19which, like the recycling factory, gives new life to waste.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I think what became very obvious very quickly today
0:12:22 > 0:12:24was, you know, where we may dismiss something,
0:12:24 > 0:12:27"Oh, it's rubbish, it's just waste,"
0:12:27 > 0:12:29actually we learnt it's still a valuable commodity,
0:12:29 > 0:12:30just in a different way,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33and I think that's the same with food.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36'We're visiting Bristol FareShare,
0:12:36 > 0:12:40'a charity which takes food destined for the bin and redistributes it.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43'I hope Lucas will take this place seriously.'
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- How are you?- I'm good, how are you?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47'Jacqui Reeves is in charge here.'
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- Hi.- This is Jacqui. - Nice to meet you.- What's your name?
0:12:50 > 0:12:51- Maddie.- Maddie.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- I'm Madz.- Hi, Madz.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54I'm Maddie.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- Oh...- Lucas, Lucas!
0:12:56 > 0:13:00The charity takes surplus food and drink directly from the suppliers
0:13:00 > 0:13:02and gives it to other charities
0:13:02 > 0:13:05who turn it into meals for those in need.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09That's people who are homeless, young people, refugee projects.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13All this food here that you can see would be thrown away.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16It's completely edible, totally fresh,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18it's not even past its sell-by date.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22The only reason it could be here is possibly the packaging's
0:13:22 > 0:13:26a bit damaged or the wrong barcode's on it, it's as simple as that.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Or it could even be because it looks less than perfect.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Something like this, might not be straight.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- It's all edible.- Yeah!
0:13:35 > 0:13:36All right, gang, off you go.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39It's Maddie, Madz and Lucas's job to work with the other
0:13:39 > 0:13:43volunteers gathering food for the orders before they're shipped out.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Take that one there.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Mixed biscuits and we're looking for one tray.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51There are over 70 volunteers here working to deliver around
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- a ton of food a day...- Thank you.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59..which makes 2,800 meals.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Could you imagine doing this for a job all day?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03I don't know, I quite like it. Yeah.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Let's hope Maddie's enthusiasm is catching.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Back at the Mrf, our promoted pair have come to find out
0:14:11 > 0:14:13how one man's waste is another man's gold.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Derek, could you tell me what we've got loaded so far, mate, please?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Mateusz started working here three years ago
0:14:19 > 0:14:20when he arrived from Poland
0:14:20 > 0:14:24and was promoted for the second time a month ago.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25Nice to meet you.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- Hey, I'm Eloushka. - Nice to meet you.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29What's your job within the factory?
0:14:29 > 0:14:33So, my job now is Mrf supervisor.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36When you started, did you have to start off, like,
0:14:36 > 0:14:40the small jobs, and did you see yourself becoming a supervisor?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43If you would like to be a supervisor or to be boss,
0:14:43 > 0:14:47you have to start from the lowest position because before you
0:14:47 > 0:14:52get supervisor job you have to learn all of the positions below that.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54I think it's a good idea that you have to do that
0:14:54 > 0:14:57cos at least you know what everyone's doing,
0:14:57 > 0:14:59you know all the job titles, you know all the rules.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03This morning on the bus I thought being in charge was just
0:15:03 > 0:15:06"everyone follows my rules, everyone listens to me,"
0:15:06 > 0:15:07but listening to you,
0:15:07 > 0:15:11I think it does show that obviously you've got to work your way up.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Only child Eloushka lives with her mum and grandparents.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21If I'm not happy with something, it probably won't happen.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Or if I want something to happen, it probably will happen.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Yeah. Everyone's world kind of revolves around me.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32And this Welsh lass certainly enjoys the finer things in life.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37I have five horses and for holidays I normally go on a cruise.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40I find cruises just a really nice way to relax.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42And I love travelling, as well.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Mum Nia's hoping the journey she's about to embark on
0:15:46 > 0:15:47will be a worthwhile one.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50I'm not convinced Eloushka fully understands the value of money,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53so I'm hoping that during this experience that she understands that
0:15:53 > 0:15:56there is a bit of hard graft that goes into providing
0:15:56 > 0:15:58everything for her, make her value what she's given
0:15:58 > 0:15:59in the future a bit more.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Back at the Mrf, after their chat with Mateusz,
0:16:05 > 0:16:09it's dawning on Eloushka that climbing the career ladder is tough.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13I think we underestimated what it takes to become a boss.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18At the food factory, Lucas, Maddie and Madz are hard at work.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21I hope it's a sign of things to come.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Pork, raw sausages...
0:16:23 > 0:16:24We need five.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I wouldn't think it would all be wasted.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Like, it's all really nice stuff.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33Yeah. Yeah, imagine if we all did this and then you get a nice pizza.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34- Yeah.- Not bad, is it?- No!
0:16:34 > 0:16:37SHE LAUGHS
0:16:37 > 0:16:40I like how when it comes down to here people work in the community
0:16:40 > 0:16:43and they work together to help other people.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48- And I'd love when I am older to volunteer here.- Oh, would you?- Yeah.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50It's a small place but it feeds a lot of people
0:16:50 > 0:16:53good food that's edible and nothing's wrong with it.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54It has definitely changed
0:16:54 > 0:16:56my attitude of chucking away leftovers as well.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10It's the morning of day two. We're now in a situation where
0:17:10 > 0:17:12our two promoted kids are going up in the world
0:17:12 > 0:17:16whilst the demoted three are going right down to the tip floor.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Steve's giving Lucas, Maddie and Madz another chance to
0:17:21 > 0:17:23prove themselves in the factory.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25These bales are ready to go out to our customers now,
0:17:25 > 0:17:30so we have to inspect them to make sure they're of the right quality.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32This is a paper bale, OK?
0:17:32 > 0:17:35So if we see anything like plastics, that can be pulled out.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- Ah.- Yeah, good. Good.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Magic. You see? I knew there was stuff left in there.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- What we don't want to do is break the bale up either.- Yeah.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47So we want to keep the bale intact.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52Lucas.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Don't do that. Don't kick it.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58You want to mess with me, come, we go!
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- Got it! - Lucas, what did I say to you?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04- UNCLEAR REPLY - Yeah.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06You could injure yourself, OK?
0:18:06 > 0:18:09While Lucas is ignoring Steve's instructions,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12the girls are ignoring Lucas and getting on with their task.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Don't try and dig too deep in the bale, just look at the surface.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16- OK.- That's good.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Shall we have a look at the front of this and then see how you've done?
0:18:19 > 0:18:22I think that looks fairly good. Well done.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Ooh. Ooh! Doo-doo-doo-doo. Ooh!
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Lucas, can I ask you to get up off the floor, please?- OK.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33- With Lucas continuing to muck around...- Hi-yar! Hi-yar!
0:18:33 > 0:18:36..Steve's patience has finally run out.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39OK, I want you to stop now. OK, stand back.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42OK? I've told you several times not to be punching the bales and you,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45I saw you doing a bit of a ninja pose there and doing that again.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47I'm going to have to take you off this job.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- OK?- I wasn't hitting it, I was grabbing it out.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52But you're putting yourself in danger and I've had to speak to you
0:18:52 > 0:18:54several times now and I can't allow that.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- Do you understand?- Oh, Lucas!
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Across the floor, promoted duo Eloushka and Tom
0:19:03 > 0:19:06are being trusted with the toughest job in the factory.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09They're working on this super-speedy picking line,
0:19:09 > 0:19:13where waste and recyclables are sorted for a final time
0:19:13 > 0:19:15before they're packed into the bales.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19This is so fast.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Steve's come up to get them started.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27Eloushka is looking for paper and aluminium cans and Tom is
0:19:27 > 0:19:32going to be looking to take HDPE bottles off there and then any
0:19:32 > 0:19:35residue can come onto this conveyor.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38The residue materials left on Eloushka's bale will end up
0:19:38 > 0:19:40being burnt to generate power.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Does that go over there?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Working shoulder to shoulder with the professionals,
0:19:45 > 0:19:49the pair only have seconds to decide what to keep and what to let pass.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Oh!
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Everything they salvage is worth valuable money to the company.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Eloushka wants to be the best, but it's tough.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08It's exhausting!
0:20:08 > 0:20:11It's really tiring, my hands hurt.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15And Tom's hot on her heels to be the top worker.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Tom, how many bins have you done?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- More than you! - HE LAUGHS
0:20:19 > 0:20:22On hand to offer support is Mateusz.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26His first job in the factory was on this very picking line.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- I'm going to hand you over to Mateusz now...- Right.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- ..who'll help you on the line, OK? - Fabulous, thank you, Steve.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34It goes really quick.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36They all come at once.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38I started my journey from this line.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41You're an inspiration, Mateusz.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- Am I?- Yeah, absolutely. - Oh, really?- 100%!
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Last night, Mateusz told the pair that hard work pays off.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Well done.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Cheers, mate.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54And they're proving to him that they listened.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56You work really good, you work really hard.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Eloushka, you pick off the line a lot of ally, a lot of paper,
0:21:00 > 0:21:02so that was well done.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03We're the dream team.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07My man, this.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08Top man!
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Back on the factory floor,
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Lucas has been given the easiest job there is.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Num-num-num-num-num-num-num.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Oh, dear.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Already I can see that Lucas does not look very happy.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Hello.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36- Hi.- How's it going, Steve?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38The girls are working well there.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42And I can see Lucas is doing a slightly different job.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Yes, unfortunately, Lucas wouldn't listen to safety instructions
0:21:46 > 0:21:49and so we've had to take him off the job and give him a different task,
0:21:49 > 0:21:50so he's now sweeping up.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- Lucas.- Yes?- How's it going?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59I don't know if I should say I got demoted twice
0:21:59 > 0:22:03or I should just say I got de-de-demoted.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05- Right. - I think I was doing a good job.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Like, getting it all out.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10But then he doesn't like it the way I'm taking it out, so, yeah.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14If he's asking you to do something, it's probably for your own good.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19And with one final push, time's up for the demoted three.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21If you'd like to follow me this way.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23OK? Keep close, please.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33After a mixed morning, the five are reunited for one final job.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38The one person who's got the most to prove here is Lucas.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43OK, guys, so this is it, your last chance to impress Steve
0:22:43 > 0:22:46before you're judged in the boardroom.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49So this is the final quality check before it becomes baled. OK?
0:22:49 > 0:22:53So what we need to pick off on this point is anything that's not
0:22:53 > 0:22:54cardboard or paper.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58We have a film chute here. OK, it's like a vacuum cleaner.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01What you have to do is pick the film up and throw it up the chute.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03This task is all about speed.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06The group will be judged on how many items they pick in a minute.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09OK, guys, get ready.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Why did you just say "get ready"?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I don't like the sound of that.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17Oh, my...
0:23:18 > 0:23:2314 tonnes of material passes along the conveyor belt every hour.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Look at that, Lucas, not good!
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Oh, my gosh, look how fast it's coming through now!
0:23:29 > 0:23:30Yeah, I know.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- This is going mad.- Quickly, guys.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Quickly.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Ah!
0:23:35 > 0:23:39This is Show Me What You're Made of, so let's grab this, come on.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40Oh, my gosh.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Despite the mountain of material coming their way,
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Eloushka and Tom are keeping up the good work...
0:23:45 > 0:23:48I'm so hot my glasses are getting steamed up.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51It's like a whole new world in here!
0:23:51 > 0:23:54..with Maddie and Madz picking up speed...
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Maddie, Maddie, Maddie, Maddie!
0:23:55 > 0:23:58I didn't realise how much sweat you'd work up by doing this.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59It's ridiculous!
0:23:59 > 0:24:03..and it looks like Lucas has at last decided to pull his socks up.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Look at Lucas, he's like a different person.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11- He's very decisive.- Yeah, no way, great. Well done, Lucas!
0:24:11 > 0:24:13The whole team is finally pulling together.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16How's it looking, Steve?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Looking really good, I've not seen any plastic on there so far at all,
0:24:19 > 0:24:23which is unusual cos you normally get a percentage come through.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27So, dare I say, they seem to be doing extremely well.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28Really pleased.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Guys, you are doing a fantastic job. Really, really well done.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37I'm so, so thrilled.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Come on, guys, we're doing great.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43So, right now Steve's taking note
0:24:43 > 0:24:48in terms of how many pieces per minute the kids are able to take.
0:24:48 > 0:24:54I've got to say, genuinely, I feel like Lucas is the strongest here.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- Lucas!- Yeah?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58The man of the moment.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Talk to me, what's the story? A complete transformation.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I'm enjoying it, basically.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05So it's as simple as just because you are enjoying it more
0:25:05 > 0:25:07you're willing to give it a good go?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Kind of. And it's more active.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12How's your relationship with Steve?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- Er. Better now.- Yeah.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Cos you were on rocky ground, right?
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Yeah.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28OK, guys, one by one we're going to take you off the line
0:25:28 > 0:25:31and replace you. That'll be the end of the task.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33- Bye.- Bye.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38It's time for the boardroom, where our five will get the lowdown
0:25:38 > 0:25:41on their first taste of the working world.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- Hello.- Hello.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48We'll start with the final task. How do you think they did?
0:25:48 > 0:25:50I thought the final task was great.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54Everybody was focused, picking quickly, so, really well done.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- So, Steve, you've been watching our five very closely...- Yeah.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02..over the past few days. If we start with Tom.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Tom's done really well. He's been steady throughout, so well done.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- Thank you.- Really, really, really pleased.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11I've tried my best in all the tasks that we've done.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13OK. Eloushka.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Similar comments to Tom. She's been consistent throughout the process.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20You actually had the highest pick rate in the final task
0:26:20 > 0:26:23at 30 pieces per minute, so you were basically picking
0:26:23 > 0:26:24something every two seconds.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Hard work paid off.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Steve, can we speak about Madz, please? How's Madz done?
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Really well in the last task.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36Because you were under pressure, then you lifted your game.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37How's Maddie done?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40In the first task, you were quite easily distracted.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- Mmm.- Let's talk about Lucas,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45because I feel like he has had a bit of a rollercoaster.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46Yeah.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50In the earlier tasks, there was a definite lack of concentration
0:26:50 > 0:26:52and a lack of following instruction.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55But what was really pleasing for me in the final task,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57he concentrated throughout,
0:26:57 > 0:27:02he targeted the material well and he had the second-highest pick rate.
